2026 Fall September C5 - Digital Literacy Training and Graduation CONGRATULATIONS to our Fall September C5 Digital Literacy Training Cohort! This fall, our C5 Digital Literacy Training participants came together to build foundational digital skills, practice using technology, and gain confidence navigating today's digital world. Throughout the program, participants focused on basic computer skills, understanding devices and hardware, keyboard and mouse skills, keyboard shortcuts, managing files and applications, and using everyday digital tools. Through hands-on activities and practice, participants had opportunities to learn at their own pace, ask questions, and apply what they learned. A special focus of this cohort was artificial intelligence (AI) and understanding how AI is becoming part of our everyday digital world. Participants learned about AI through discussions, demonstrations, hands-on activities, and a presentation focused on understanding AI, how it can be used, and how it connects to the technology we use every day. We were excited to see participants actively practice their skills, ask questions, and support one another throughout the training. Their participation and willingness to learn helped create a positive and engaging learning environment. We are grateful to Capital One and EveryoneOn for their generous support in providing laptops and helping make this program possible. Thank you to all of our C7 participants, partners, and supporters for making this Fall 2026 cohort a success! #DigitalLiteracy #DigitalSkills #TechnologyTraining #AI #DigitalEquity #OnlineSafety #MobileBanking #Telehealth #AI #ComputerSkills #DigitalWorld #FallCohort2026 #CommunityEmpowerment
